If it is a maturity case, I don't think the chances are as high on it working because as many of us know, with immaturity also often is accompanied by lack of courteousy and understanding and we all need that.

The last part of what you said is exactly the problem, "lack of courtesy and understanding"...which he displayed this evening. Long story short, when he dropped me off at my house this evening, I told him we need to part ways because this isn't working for me.
He is very, very hurt by my response. I can tell he is sensitive and questions why I feel the way I do. My feelings aren't so much due to what society deems the norm rather than what I've experienced and how I feel. It bothers me that my response hurts him, I know he seems heartbroken but he is oblivious to his behaviors and I won't stand for staying with someone, in any degree of relationship in order to change that person or restrict their individuality. We are supposed to express our individualism, not be confined by it.
